#ifndef __STRBUF_H__
#define __STRBUF_H__

/*
    A strbuf provides a convenient set of primitives for assembling a
    nul-terminated string in a fixed-size, caller-provided backing buffer,
    using a sequence of append operations.

    An append operation that would overflow the buffer is truncated with a nul
    terminator and the "overrun" property of the strbuf becomes true until the
    next strbuf_init() or strbuf_trunc().  Any append to an overrun strbuf will
    be fully truncated, ie, nothing more will be appended to the buffer.

    The string in the buffer is guaranteed to always be nul terminated, which
    means that the maximum strlen() of the assembled string is one less than
    the buffer size.  In other words, the following invariants always hold:
        strbuf_len(sb) < strbuf_size(sb)
        strbuf_str(sb)[strbuf_len(sb)] == '\0'

    char buf[100];
    struct strbuf b;
    strbuf_init(&b, buf, sizeof buf);
    strbuf_puts(&b, "text");
    strbuf_sprintf(&b, "fmt", val...);
    if (strbuf_overrun(&b))
        // error...
    else
        // use buf

    A strbuf counts the total number of chars appended to it, even ones that
    were truncated.  This count is always available via strbuf_count().

    A NULL buffer can be provided.  This causes the strbuf operations to
    perform all character counting and truncation calculations as usual, but
    not actually assemble the string; it is as though the strbuf is permanently
    overrun, but no nul terminator is appended.  This allows a strbuf to be
    used for calculating the size needed for a buffer, which the caller may
    then allocate and replay the same operations to fill.

    A buffer length of -1 can be given.  This causes the strbuf operations to
    treat the buffer as unlimited in size.  This is useful for when the caller
    is 100% certain that the strbuf will not be overrun.  For example, if the
    required buffer size was already computed by a preliminary run of the same
    strbuf operations on a NULL buffer, and the necessary size allocated.

    The strbuf operations will never write any data beyond the length of the
    assembled string plus one for the nul terminator.  So, for example, the
    following code will never alter buf[4]:

    char buf[5];
    buf[4] = 'x';
    strbuf b;
    strbuf_init(b, buf, sizeof buf);
    strbuf_puts(&b, "abc");
    assert buf[4] == 'x'; // always passes
